About

We are announcing the end of this Kickstarter campaign for Victory

We want to gratefully thank all of our backers for your support of the game, and to thank everyone who sent us feedback about it.
We’ve listened carefully to what the Kickstarter community has said, and it has given us many ideas of games we could do in the future. Additionally, multiple game publishers have expressed interest in Victory, based on your support, and we hope to still bring Victory to you with their help.

With each game taking only 15-20 minutes to complete, you can
get in more games during a single session, yielding more rewards and
progression with less time investment.

Every unit in Victory fulfills a specific role with
strengths and weaknesses that you can exploit to maximum tactical
efficiency.

Unit Facing and Positioning are crucial components to the
tactical game; a tank's rear armor is weaker than its front armor, so
you always need to be mindful of unit positioning to avoid being
outmaneuvered by your opponents.

The environment is a critical point of tactical consideration. How you utilize the terrain can mean the difference between a decisive victory or a swift defeat.

Utilize Line of Sight obstacles to set up ambushes.

High Ground offers a distinct offensive advantage.

Cover Positions are
perfect for setting up defensive lines to hold off an enemy assault, and
rough terrain can be advantageous to out-flanking enemy units.

The team-based game play central to Victory necessitates the
cooperative spirit of fighting in a greater army for the greater goal
of team-wide victory. Coordination with teammates is crucial to
fighting back the enemy, with individual tactical precision contributing
to the larger battle.

As games are completed, your Company earns experience after each match and eventually levels up allowing you to field more units and/or more powerful units. Additionally, you will
amass global in-game currency that is used to unlock collectible packs of new
units, special orders, and enhancements, expanding your
continually-growing collection. The layered strategy of customizing companies offers infinite combinations so you can constantly experiment with perfect builds to suit your evolving play style!

The objectives in Victory are simple: capture, defend, and hold the
victory regions on the map, or march down a winner-take-all path of total
annihilation against your opponents. Multiple victory conditions coupled with the vast possibilities of company build configurations
guarantee that no two game experiences are alike.

With an extensive library of award-winning strategy game titles under our belts, why have we come
here to Kickstarter?

We have been part of the Kickstarter community for about a year now, and have enjoyed backing other fun and amazing projects - the creativity and passion we’ve seen is incredible! Now, we're delighted to finally have the opportunity to have our very own game on Kickstarter.

In addition, independent developers are often faced with many challenges in self-funding and publishing high-quality titles on their own, while larger, traditional game publishers remain focused on large-scale productions that aim to repeat the successes of the past. This is not the direction that we've chosen to take with Victory.

Now we intend to charge forward,
full speed ahead and pave the way for a persistent, online action strategy
game that is both competitive and widely accessible. We are
offering our decades of experience, proven talent, and enthusiasm on a
mission to deliver a knockout game experience. With your support and
collaboration throughout this production, we can realize this vision, and together, create a strategy game that is not what we think you want to
play, but what you know and tell us you want to play.

Victory is currently in the playable prototype phase, built on our established and proven GLYPHX Online game engine. The combat sequences from the introductory video were captured from actual gameplay footage. There are still a number of features and a good amount of content that we need to add to make Victory a stand-out strategy title in a class all its own. Additionally, we must also provide operational services such as server hosting and ongoing support to maintain the quality of your gaming experience once Victory has gone live. Content, features, and the necessities of online support - that's what the Kickstarter funds will be used to deliver.

Please join us in the march to Victory!

A visual breakdown of our pledge tiers.

Over 25 years of Game Development History! Founded in early 2003, we are an independent game developer based in Las Vegas, Nevada. As Petroglyph, our team has been making games together for 10 years. However, our collective game development history and experience is even longer than that - many of us also previously worked together for many years at Westwood Studios.

Some of the titles that our team members have had a hand in creating over the years include the Dune RTS series (including the original Dune II RTS), Eye of the Beholder RPG series, Panzer General series, Command & Conquer series, C&C: Red Alert series, Galactic Civilizations series, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War I & II series, Star Wars: Empire at War series, Company of Heroes, Universe at War: Earth Assault, Panzer General: Allied Assault, Guardians of Graxia, Rise of Immortals: Battle for Graxia, and End of Nations.

At Petroglyph, we love making games just as much as we love to play them!

Risks and challenges

We have an established and proven GLYPHX Online game engine that we have already used to build Victory as a playable prototype. This means that the greatest risk usually associated with creating and hosting a multiplayer online game of this scope - building the actual core technology - has already been mitigated.

With the core technology already in place, the team is able to focus all of the efforts on crafting the best game experience possible, which is where our greatest challenge lies.

From visually amazing maps with interesting game play to diverse, balanced units and special orders for you to collect, to new and exciting game play features, we are faced with quite a task in delivering the best game possible.

To mitigate this, we have a team with a great deal of experience in crafting online game-play across many strategy and action genres, and a deep understanding of what is required to balance a competitive online game. Even better, we have YOU - the game's community - to provide constant and valuable feedback as the development of the game progresses.
